They present clean, wholesome comedies with vaudeville numbers between each act. A poppy orchestra accompanies the show and entertains with numbers. The play this evening, "The Call of the Woods," is a four-act drama of the northwest.

ROSE TOURNAMENT LARGER THAN EVER PASADENA, Dec. 14.—Entries for the Tournament of Roses pageant made so far outnumber entries for previous years in a ratio of almost two to one, indicating the largest and most gorgeous parade in the 35 years th. Tournament has been held. Out-of-town entries are particularly notable, several cities which have not heretofore participated having announced their intention to have floats in the pageant. One of the most notable entries promised is to come from Hollywood, the first time that community has ever had an entry. This feature will be dedicated to Carrie Jacobs Bond, the famous composer, and will be typical of the music, art and cultural aspect of Hollywood. There will also be entries from the Rotary, Klwanis and Lions, all three being in the pageant at the same time for the first time in history. The parade will move over the usual and well established route in spite of the fact that the new Tournament of Roses stadium is in the opposite part of Pasadena from Tournament park where the afternoon program has formerly been given. This was decided because of a desire to divide the areas of congestion, the parade terminating in a different part of the city from where thousands of automobiles would be choreographed for the East and West football game. Prizes for parade entries are by far the most elaborate ever offered and all indications point to a record parade attendance of more than 200,000 persons, which is the highest mark ever set by the parade. MAN WHO TAUGHT EDISON RETIRES The man who taught Edison the Morse code and who was General Grant's operator in the Civil war desires to retire from the key. He is J. C. Ward who has handled messages, as an incident to his own business for the Postal Telegraph Co. in Visalia, for nearly 40 years. Upon his retirement the company wants to close its Visalia office. At the hearing of the application before Examiner Myron Westover in Visalia Ward testified that pride in DIMPLED KNEES QUESTIONED Miss Dorothy Durrant, star 19 year old athlete and sophomore at the University of Washington and three of her fellow students could not see why the boys could wear comfortable running trunks during their athletic work and the girls could not. So the girls wore them. And their pictures got into the papers. And now the faculty, according to unofficial report, will probably bar the dimpled kneed damsels from all athletic sports for the balance of the year. "PAGEANT OF OLD GLORY", PASADENA PASADENA, Dec. 14.—Federal Judge Benjamin F. Bledsoe and Frederick Warde, the great actor, will be the principal speakers at the "Pageant of Old Glory," which is to be presented in the Tournament of Roses stadium, now called the Rose Bowl, on the afternoon of Sunday, December 17.

La Mottee, a prominent young attorney, following the disappearance of the two from the city of Corona, was launched by the authorities today after a warrant for the arrest of La Mottee on a charge of abduction had been issued.

He is J. C. Ward who has handled messages, as an incident to his own business for the Postal Telegraph Co. in Visalia, for nearly 40 years. Upon his retirement the company wants to close its Visalia office. At the hearing of the application before Examiner Myron Westover in Visalia Ward testified that pride in being the oldest telegraph operator in the United States had kept him at the key until now, but that failing health compels him to retire. Ward said that Edison was a train "butcher" when he taught him telegraphy. In 1863 when Ward went to the war he left Edison as operator at Mount Clemens, Michigan. Ward states that he greatly prizes letters that he receives from Edison. PLANS TO PROTECT GOV'T.

Bledsoe and Frederick Warde, the great actor, will be the principal speakers at the "Pageant of Old Glory," which is to be presented in the Tournament of Rosees stadium, now called the Rose Bowl, on the afternoon of Sunday, December 17. The pageant itself will depict the heroes of all American wars from the colonial to the World War. This feature will be remarkably elaborate and, as far as possible, actual uniforms worn in the various wars will be used. Admiral Edward Eberle, commander in chief of the Pacific Fleet, will be a guest of honor on the occasion, bringing with him his official staff. He will be ranking officer when the new flag is unfurled for the first time from the 122-foot flagstaff which is to be dedicated as a part of the program on the afternoon of the 17th. Massed band music and exhibition drilling are also features of the program and other numbers of notable interest will be presented, including a great living flag, numbers by the D. A. R. Elks and a number of patriotic organizations, the whole making an attractive program lasting about two hours with many spectacular features. FRANCE STILL HAS EYE ON GERMANY BERLIN—The French espionage system overruns Germany, Eastern and Central Europe, according to the Deutsche Tageszeitung here. The system is assisted by French official commissions and control committees and ferrets out the economic, political and military secrets of European nations—especially Germany—the Tageszeitung claims. "That the French have covered entire German with a widespread espionage system is well known," the newspaper asserts. The entire French information service in Germany is guided by a special division of the French general staff in Paris, the paper charges. NAVY JOINS IN SEARCH FOR AIRMEN SAN DIEGO, Dec. 14.—The navy joined the army today in the week-old search for the missing airmen, Col. Francis Marshall and Lleut. Charles Webber. There are now 36 planes of the two branches of the service in the hunt for the missing men.

La Mottec, a prominent young attorney, following the disappearance of the two from the city of Corona, was launched by the authorities today after a warrant for the arrest of La Mottec on a charge of abduction had been issued.

Francis Marshall and Lieut. Charles Webber. There are now 36 planes of the two branches of the service in the hunt for the missing men. Cavalry is beating through the barren Santa Rita mountains and Indian runners are trailing over the Sonora desert in the hope of finding them.

SHOT OWN FATHER; SEEKING PROBATION LOS ANGELES, Dec. 14.—Convicted of shooting her own father, Sylvia Rowlatt was scheduled to appear before Superior Judge Sidney N. Reeve today for hearing on an application for probation, and, in case probation is denied, for sentence. At the time of her arrest Mrs. Rowlatt declared she had shot her father because he had forced his attentions on her and because he was the father of her baby, then only a few months old. Frank Rowlatt, the husband, is said to have had knowledge of his wife's intention to shoot her father and to have aided her beforehand. NOT READY FOR SKYSCRAPERS Just how far London is from the skyscraper stage will be seen when it is stated that the highest building in London is Whitehall court, the home of the National Liberal club, which is 110 feet high. But the London county council has made some concessions to the demand of West End business firms that they be allowed to erect loftier stores, but the concessions fall far short of permitting the construction in London of buildings modeled after American skyscrapers. Confessedly the concession as to height asked for was 120 feet maximum on favorable sites. Builders have been authorized to put up building 8s feet high and, on favorable sites the municipality may even permit buildings 100 or even 140 feet high.
